development, learning technology support and college-wide academic initiatives. We

Blackboard has reorganized the My Institution Tab and replaced this feature with a streamlined interface called Base Navigation. On Thursday, May 19, 20222, the new Base Nav Menu will appear.
The Ultra Base Navigation is the experience you have outside of a course. Blackboard removed all of the My Institution tabs and modules and created a streamlined menu (Ultra Base Navigation), which includes the Institution area and several other features.
Although the interface looks different, base navigation does not impact the design of your course. In addition, your course building experience remains unchanged, and you retain all the same features that were previously in your Blackboard course. For students, the navigation experience within a course remains the same, the only difference is the streamlined menu that Blackboard has added which replaces the My Institution Tab.
